Three House members introduced a resolution Wednesday night calling on lawmakers to review abortion policies in wake of the trial of Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortion provider charged with first-degree murder for killing four babies and third-degree murder for killing one woman, in addition to other charges.

Reps. Stephen Fincher (R-Tenn.), Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) co-signed the resolution, which states: “Congress and States should gather information about and correct abusive, unsanitary, and illegal abortion practices and the interstate referral of women and girls to facilities engaged in dangerous or illegal second- and third-trimester procedures.”

Blackburn said in a public statement that the trial “debunked the myth” that abortion is safe, legal and rare — common rhetoric from Democrats who support its legalization.

“America is better than allowing Gosnell-like clinic conditions and Gosnell-like abortions from being swept under the rug like nothing ever happened and that women and children never died,” Blackburn said. “Oversight and enforcement are desperately needed so we can help stop these Gosnell abortion horror stories from continuing.”

Meanwhile, GOPers of the Energy and Commerce Committee requested Wednesday that state health agencies submit all records since 2008 of regulators’ dealings with abortion clinics

“The criminal investigation and trial of [Gosnell] raises troubling questions about the practices of abortion clinics, and whether state departments of health are aware, or even conducting appropriate monitoring, of these facilities,” lawmakers wrote in the letter, which Blackburn also signed, among others.

Fincher said in a public statement that his “heart breaks” the more he hears about the Gosnell trial, which a jury is currently deliberating.

“The more I hear about the Gosnell trial, the more my heart breaks. With today’s technology you can actually see the baby grow, move and hear their little heart beats. Late-term abortions are unconscionable. As a nation, it’s time to put politics aside and do the right thing to protect innocent little babies,” Fincher said in a public statement.

Earlier this week, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) introduced a similar resolution in the Senate, which has since been blocked. The resolution was co-signed by prominent senators including Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), among others.

On Wednesday, Stutzman published an op-ed in The Washington Times recounting a recent conversation he had with his mother, who he said birthed him when he was a teenager and had considered having an abortion. Stutzman wrote that he asked his mom whether she considered having an abortion after he spoke about Gosnell on the House floor.

“I gave her a call. When she answered, I talked to her about my speech on the House floor and then asked gently, ‘Mom, did you ever think about.’ There was a tense pause, and then, through tears she said, ‘Marlin, I’m so sorry!’” Stutzman wrote. “As we cried together, I was no longer a congressman, but a son understanding for the first time the heartache and struggles my mom had gone through before I was born. As we talked about her fear of driving 40 miles alone, I had to think, ‘What if a Gosnell clinic was only four miles away instead of 40?’”

He continued: “She asked if I could forgive her. I answered, ‘Yes, with all my heart.’ I said that I couldn’t imagine how scared she must have been, and how thankful I was for her and Dad’s strength to do the right thing and protect my life… Right now, Americans ought to come together for an honest conversation about abortion. In the days and weeks ahead, let’s leave the euphemisms at the door, examine the facts and find our national conscience.”
